All i ask of him right now  is win, and get us to the playoffs . But playoffs is standard now for him and this team . If we regress yes move on . But if he have another season like he had this year and we make the playoffs sign him . Idc if it’s ugly i like winners . 

But we didn't win. We only got into the playoffs because another team got us there. We are a 6 win team realistically. You don't usually win games scoring 13 and 16. Those are anomalies not to be relied on year in and year out. If backing our way into the playoffs every year with a losing record is the standard, we need another fugging standard.

Technically Young was 8-8 regular season. 8-9 overall.

List games he carried the team please. 

I’ll give him a couple. Top of my head…

Yardage record vs Atlanta, played well vs Dallas. IIRC, 4 qtrs of good play which was almost a career 1st. 
Some spurts in the second half - vs LA Rams comes to mind. 
Played well in the WC game. Whole team did. 
Failed at the end. 
 

Laid a lot of eggs too. You don’t get a great record after a loss unless you have a lot of losses. 
Jags,

Cards - sorry most of that 2nd half was Cards prevent (like we use to do in 2015 - go up big fast and slack off let them back in, have to turn it on again at the end) 

Jets

Saints

Saints 

9ers

Seahawks

On the fence Re Green Bay due to the wind and the strategy employed but he was not great there.
